Also true its really important how you speak to ppl and try to give dem dacwa. I can understand she would be angry if he spoke to her in a patronising way but i really dnt have an issue wid the principle of him asking her to cover, at least while she was there. It would be betta for both of dem. The idea of him treating non-muslim women was implied. Why else was he giving discounts (or free treatment) to hijab-wearing Mulsim women? It really is not his business to ask her to cover-up. If it were a woman in the street then it would have been understandable (though still weird in this day and age) but in his position it looks like he's abusing the powers he has/had. Sometimes good intentions alone are not enough. The method used and the paths taken are also very important. In addition, if the woman IS Muslim then surely she realises the importance of Hijab and knows that sooner or later she will have to wear one (unless she has her own ideas of Hijab of course). The issue, for her, is probably already a gaping wound that does not require any further poking. The simple mention of Hijab (from family and friends) probably gets her back up and makes her feel guilty (and as a result, also angry). Looking at things in that light, does it surprise you that such a non-hijab-wearing woman will feel angry and offended when her dentist requests her to wear a hijab in order to receive some treatment? Like praying and fasting, wearing the Hijab is a very delicate subject that requires careful handling. If it were not then there is a good risk of pushing the person you wish to advice away from you (i.e. complaining to the authorities about fellow Muslims, etc). Ps I see some are talking about him finding a more Muslim friendly profession! What exactly does that mean?

If you think this harmless looking woman is dangerous, what do you think the policewoman is capable off?

Ayaayo, waa Ramadan, sixirka naga jooji. How did you manage to sandwich G in the middle of your two identical posts? ** Starts spitting blessed water around the thread **

^^ war ka joog Ms D&D Free and line don't go together, don't you think? It's like arguing that animals living in Safari Zoos are not really captive animals! Surely if there are clear lines and limits then there is no freedom at all. The lines should be drawn by each individual and according to their own judgment.

^^ It just looks like she's about to explode but is holding it all in as much as she could. You sometimes give the same impression.

^^ Even Burco does not count. I was young and innocent back then and did not know how evil snakes were/are.

^^ That photo in your avatar suits your character. Though I couldn't help noticing that she's holding her breath! Or could she really have a neck that big?

^^ I'm yet to visit my local IKEA, why in the world would I go walking around Africa? (snakes aside of course).

Ms D&D, Someone encouraging others to do good is never a bad thing indeed. But what if that someone is making conditional requests? The man (if the reports above are to be believed) sounds like a well-meaning zealot.

^^ war iminkay ku odhan mijin ii qaad. I really should have thought about it before I told the truth.

But only in weddings and funerals. People can knock it as much as they want. When done in moderation it is great stress relief. Hmm. It's been a few months since I last had some. Now that you reminded me, shall I do it this weekend or just wait for Eid?

^^ Ceeb. Ceeb walaalo. Are you not fasting? Don't call the wadaad a spotty moron! ps JB, I was not talking about him. I was talking about Hassan D Aweys and the other guy. Why are they not part of this 'government'?

He's in the middle of this photo. Can you spot him? NO? How about here?

Don't ask me what, ask why. I got a PM telling me that if I smiled more and got at least ten people on here to too, everyone in the world will become happy! I'm not sure it works but I'll try everything at least once. (Want to join me?)

^^

Why do they do this EVERY Ramadan? In that part of Somalia too! Is the climate of Laas Canood extra dry or something?

Originally posted by Dhubad: Paraganoow[/b This is clearly another mistake by Wadaadada/Makamadaha, which it can not be defended. What jobs were they given in this group? I'm talking about Wadaadada, saaxib!

^^ Fresh ideas? Aha! Road blocks in Growe

^^ Waxa la yedhi he's undercover. He's spearheading the resistance and they don't want to blow his cover.

Originally posted by Paragon: Lol. Waad riyooneysaan dhamaantiin. That is what you are all doing. You want to see liberation of Somalia? What kind do you like the Courts to offer to the Somali people? A verbally-charged liberation? Or a militarily-driven liberation? Get real people, as Bilaal suggested. If you expected a verbal liberation then maybe Indha-Cade can be excluded from the struggle. But if not, I assure you, he is indispensible in the struggle - whatever his previous records show. Records and rumour which I am sure those in Asmara are fully aware off. But still, they had to make the difficult decision of including him in the process- that decision should make a clear signal to you guys. Yes. Yes. But is HE/THEY to be trusted? If one agrees with BILAL and gives Indha-Cade the benefit of the doubt, what about the others in that cabinet? Hussein Aideed, a former deputy Prime Minister and interior minister, was named as second-in-command of the ARS central committee, a 191-seat legislative body chaired by former parliament Speaker Sharif Hassan. Second-in-command? ...adeer khayaaliga naga daaya dee..

Heh. In their haste to resemble an alternative to the TFG and look like a real government, they even started to make similar mistakes! This has all the signs of being an offensively embarrassing farce. Whenever you think Somalis had reached rock bottom they surprise you with their ingenuity and ability to dig some more.

Don't knock these pets, ladies. This kitten I have is only nine weeks old. Cats live to be twenty or more. So, long after the kids have turned into little argumentative human beings or went to University and stopped phoning their old man daily, I'll still (insha Allah) have this cat stroking itself against my leg and chasing a piece of string. Pets are great. Oh oh oh..did I tell you about the dog I used to have? He was a bit confused..

^^ Someone at work got it for me. I couldn't just pick it up and go home. Anyway, I have my own room and the cat is also behaving itself. It's funny seeing all these grown men coming to my office and making strange sounds at the poor kitten. I, of course, don't make such silly sounds (not when anyone is looking anyway). Dahia, There IS a real kitten in my office. I'm taking her home later today. She's sleeping under my feet right now.
